	The Discarded Generation
		Colonial Australia was an insecure or 'frightened county'; an outpost of Empire and nation of 'independent Britons' surrounded by a hostile and alien environment; a nation determined to maintain its British identity while nervously scanning both its citizens and the horizon for all manner of potential threats and impurities.
		Such fears served to foster the 'imperial patriotism' that 'greeted every English success in the revolutionary wars against France with relief and joy' (Clark, Vol I: 154).
		They would, as we will see in subsequent chapters, be a key factor in the formulation of the Australian state.
